In
this first-ever biography of the charismatic Warwickshire historian Mary
Dormer Harris (1867 -1936) Leamington author Jean Field includes extracts
and quotations from her subject's work, as well as a lively text. Containing
a wealth of illustrations, this book will not only interest those who
enjoy Warwickshire history, but also any who enjoy dipping into real-life
stories of tragedy and success.
The work which Mary Dormer Harris did on the ancient manuscripts of the
City of Coventry earned her many accolades, but she was also a lively
and fun-loving journalist, whose witty and nostalgic descriptions had
much literary merit. |
